Description
The standard Vision XO takes a different approach. It combines a machined aluminium body with a sealed disc drag system designed to provide controlled resistance against stronger fish.
The #5/6 and #7/8 models use lightweight, large-arbour construction. They suit general trout fishing, larger rivers and demanding single-handed applications.
The #8/9 provides additional line capacity and a stronger braking system. Therefore, it makes an excellent option for heavier single-handed rods, switch rods and lighter double-handed salmon setups.
For serious salmon and saltwater fishing, the #9/10 and #10/12 models use a more powerful drag mechanism derived from Vision's established XLB reel design.
These larger models offer up to 8kg of maximum drag pressure. Furthermore, the braking resistance increases progressively across approximately 2.5 turns of the drag adjustment.
Vision protects the mechanism with improved sealing, German INA axle seals and Japanese bearings. As a result, these models suit demanding fishing where drag strength and resistance to water intrusion matter.
The largest XO #12+ provides additional backing capacity and enough weight to balance longer double-handed salmon rods.
Why Choose the Vision XO?
The main advantage of the XO family is the choice between two genuinely different reel designs.
Choose the XO Click when minimum weight, traditional sound and straightforward trout fishing matter most.
Alternatively, choose the standard XO when you need a sealed disc drag, greater backing capacity or the braking power required for salmon and saltwater fishing.
Both retain Vision's distinctive XO styling, machined construction and large-arbour design.
Performance
The XO Click prioritises lightness, rapid line recovery and simple adjustable braking. Its full-frame design also provides additional protection when fishing fine leaders.
The standard XO offers progressively stronger drag systems as reel size increases. Larger models provide the capacity and braking power needed for salmon, switch rods, double-handed rods and demanding saltwater applications.
Who Is It For?
XO Click: Trout and grayling anglers fishing dry flies, nymphs and light streamers.
XO #7/8: Trout, sea trout and salmon anglers who want a premium reel with sealed disc drag.
